The needs of families trying to get back on their feet after a major setback
are great. The Salvation Army of Grand Rapids, Family Social Services, provides
whatever help they can including food. To this end, the GMR reps., food brokers,
suppliers and grocery retailers have rallied their support with donations of
food, gift certificates and cash.

In 2009 the GMR organization
volunteered to help the Salvation Army with their annual Toy/Food Drive.
This opportunity gave our membership the chance to help the Salvation Army
disburse toys and food to needy families in West Michigan. The GMR
volunteered on a December day to help distribute toys and food
certificates to individuals and families who had signed up to receive holiday
assistance. This was another excellent opportunity for our organization to
get involved in the community and show many West Michigan families the cheer of
Christmas. Thanks to all who came out to lend a hand.
